Being two is very fun.

Especially today for some reason.

See for yourself.

Silly Gooses

Last night we were struck with a nasty, nasty stomach bug. I kept having flashbacks to this one only this time I was sick at the same time as my little Wyatt. Myron and Rylie soon followed. We have had a pititful, yet restful Friday but rather then share to many details of our late night family time in the bathroom here are some cute pictures from this week. I would much rather look at those myself!

Helping Paint Jay and Allison's house.

Rylie has her own special make-up bag at Allison's.

Grace and Noah

Do I really need a caption other then

"Goldfish in my train"

Rylie is so excited now that Grace likes to play dress-up with her.

Week One.

I do not know what to do with just one child. Poor Wyatt. Today we took Rylie to school and he came home looking for her. Nothing I could do consoled him. He finally gave up and we cuddled and watched Clifford the Big Red Dog.

This week we started full on FunHouse. Grace came MTW because her Pop-Pa was in town. Plus Noah's mama started school so he started his MTW with us too. Needless to say Wyatt has had plenty to entertain him until today. Our house has been very very busy, but in a most fabulous way. The kids get along great together and are just enjoying some fun time. Wyatt immediately started sharing his trains and trucks with Noah. I think he was ready for a little guy friend. Grace remembered  and asked several time Noah's bottle and baby food. It cracks me up she remembers that! But gives him gentle pats on the head beacuse she knows he is a baby. And Noah is just wanting to follow the others around and play play play. He seems pretty happy to be here and that makes me feel great.

Rylie,as you can see from previous posts, started her school year and is having.a.blast. We were both [Rylie and myself] ready for it to start. We have been butting heads the last few weeks and I knew I wasn't stimulating her enough. Plus, she was starting to act like the "almost-two year olds". Don't get me started on the screaming! Although we had a fabulous summer she was just ready to be back with other kids her age. She really missed her friends and comes home at lunch so refreshed. Its good for a mama's heart.

So Happy Together.....

The minds of babes.....

my favorite look at the pure JOY in thise faces....

Busy Week....

Meet Noah.

Noah Bellina.

aint he a cutie.....

At four months old he is the newset member of our "fun house". Grant it, he doesn't offically start coming until this fall but we were able to enjoy him this week. I think we will be a fun back up for when Grandma needs a break!

The kids took really well to him, and him to them. I think he has a little crush on Rylie too! She was such a great helper. She just doated on him all week long, she read to him, and helped with his bottles and gave him toys. She could even get him laughing that sweet baby belly laugh I forgot about.

Wyatt was the one I was most worried about, but once he say the kid had a paci and was a boy, there was no turning back. He would point and say "babeeeee, pa-eeee" . He also liked to watch him take his bottle.

Gracie was so sweet and gentle with him. He just wanted to hug and kiss him all say long. It was really sweet I must repeat. All three kids were of course fascinated with his bouncy seat. At one point I had to hide it because they were fighting over sitting in it.  

Checking his bouncy seat him out on his first morning.

Rylie checking out her old carseat.

Just having some bubble time.

Thank you Easter Bunny

ohhhhh yea baby.....

We have spent a lot of time outside this week, since its suppossed to snow again this weekend.

Rylie has been practicing sitting on her bike.

please excuse our "junk" we were airing out a little.yikes, it looks awful!

while Wyatt checks out the Jeep and Gracie tries on Rylie's shades...

success...

good times in the driveway!

This weekend we decided to attempt our yearly hike to Chimney Rock.

The weather was beautiful, however it has snowed quite a bit more this year then the past years. The road, even though plowed, was still very snow covered and very slushie. But we tried to make the best of it anyways. I even attempted to carry Rylie in the T.T. and have to say I was quite impressed. When I switched to carry Wyatt he felt like he weighted just as much as she did. Its a great pack even for bigger kids (Rylie is about 37lbs).

Rylie did walk some, which was fun. She had a great time splashing around in the mud puddles.

Since we didnt get to many pictures of Wyatt on the hike I thought I would share some of these.

Wyatt and his truck. He can now climb onto a "big chair" and play with it on the table. He thinks this is big stuff of course!

and his truck book Myron got for him at the book store.

I say Myron got it for him however Wyatt himself picked it out. He would not let it go therefore Daddy had to buy it for him.

We finally found a boxspring for Rylie's bed. It looks like a real bed now.

and dont forget our Gracie! I love this picture it just describes her TOTALLY!!!!!

One Minute of our Tuesday.

When all else fails...

Build a fort.
